Since ActiveStorage already stores file checksum, it migth be used as file identifier for storage deduplication. When creating a new file ActiveStorage should first check if a file with whe same checksum already exists and, if so, not create a new blob, but attach (link) already existing one to the model. When destroying a model - links to other models should be checked to decide wheater to destroy the blob itself or not. This behavios might be optional per application (ActiveStorage configuration) and per model (params to has_one/many_attached hooks).
